[Droid X Android Development] FSRBIKER:
The MOD's have verified this is Koush's account, if unsure you can verify it with Koush on Twitter. The thread was locked while the MOD's verified this information, maybe they can make everyone at ease and post it here again.

The intention of my post was not directed at any particular developer but the developer community in general. I am simply trying to get the ball rolling and presented an organized way of helping to get the Droid X into the developers hands as fast as possible. If anyone has any other suggestions please post up.
[Droid X Android Development] StDevious:
very nice idea!
[Droid X Android Development] Xgame2k10:
P.I.M.P.

Koush is a def a pro! Look at this kid...
[Droid X Android Development] Koush:
$119.40 USD so far. I know someone that is willing to sell me a Droid X for $350, and another person is saying they will send me one for free (skeptical, but would be grateful). Thanks for the donations!
[Droid X Android Development] lowfive:
Hi Koush, could you please confirm or deny that this guy is doing what he claims (sending you a DX) in the post linked below. There's a space after http: b/c I'm not allowed to post actual links yet.

Sweet if Koush is on this. Donation gonna get sent
[Droid X Android Development] jvward:
I just sent 20 your way koush!
[Droid X Android Development] lowfive:
So I figured I'd take a more direct approach than the broken link I posted above lol.

The user "

Jon8RFC

" at AndroidForums.com posted the follow around 11:00AM EST today:

"Bump...I ordered a Droid X for Koush and it should be here by Wednesday (they only ship to the billing address), then I'll ship it out to Koush via USPS Priority and he should have it no later than Saturday. So I guess you can change all your threads to indicate that donations would be for motivation/appreciation of his work toward rooting the phone. I told him that if he gets this one all set (custom rom working), that I'll send a Droid2 his way since that's what I want to upgrade my Droid1 to...but i figure having a Droid X will make Droid 2 that much simpler to get going when it's available."

The title of the thread in question is "Here is OUR chance to get the Droid X rooted/unlocked!!!" started by user "FSRBIKER".

@Koush, please let us know if this is actually happening! :)
[Droid X Android Development] Playa4Life352:
You don't see his post at the top of page 3? Click on **BEEEER FUND!!!** in his signature.
[Droid X Android Development] Bateluer:
Kicked in 5 dollars.
[Droid X Android Development] lowfive:
lol yes I saw his post. He said 3 things: he mentioned how much $ he already has, how much someone was willing to sell a DX for and he mentioned that a guy was TALKING about sending him a phone for free.

The post that I quoted from AndroidForums was of a guy (probably the one Koush was talking about) saying that he already bought a phone and it was on the way. He also specified an quite specific time frame in which Koush would receive the phone. If the guy is actually telling the truth then Koush would have already had this info and would know that the phone will be arriving soon. However, if Koush doesn't know about this then the guy is most likely lying just to get a rise out of people.

Now, if the guy has indeed bought Koush a phone I will be recruiting people to donate to the beer fund, but I am sure I'm not the only one that wants to know if he has a phone on the way right now or not. Seems like you didn't fully understand the situation before, but hopefully this has helped you understand why I am asking.

We could always shift the money to another big name developer.
[Droid X Android Development] EVO-lution of Man:
Just a quick heads up. I just got word that the Droid X will be the first VZW phone to receive the froyo update. That said its pegfed that the Droid Incredible will get it end of this month beginning of next month. You guys might want to get a move on. Or not. It's solid info and not just a rumor. Got it straight from a VZW higher up.
[Droid X Android Development] -Pagan-:
great news!
[Droid X Android Development] FSRBIKER:
Who do people think has the proper knowledge to root/unlock the Droid X?
[Droid X Android Development] lowfive:
Jon8RFC just posted a follow up comment (http: //androidforums.com/motorola-droid-x/124896-here-our-chance-get-droid-x-rooted-unlocked.html#post1183831):

"Negative, the X is readily available. When the EVOs were "sold out", I simply told my friend to hop on NewEgg, and she got it few days later. That's what I did for the X too, and it's actually just $579 retail, so that's a nice money-saver versus going to Best Buy or Verizon. So if you're itching to get one, the supplies are "limited" on NewEgg (whatever that means), so hop on it ASAP after you read this post! Select "replacement phone" on the right to get the retail price.

Welcome to our Wireless World

I sent Koush the tracking number that NewEgg sent me, and it says it will get to me on the 21st by 7pm. I'm going to hit up the main post office's 24-hour mailing center and ship it Priority Mail to him that night. Unless I get there by 5:30pm, it won't go out Wednesday night, but the latest it should get to him is Saturday since he's not in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere."

I can safely say that I now trust that this guy is telling the truth and has indeed made contact with Koush: these claims are quite specific and it is unlikely that there would be any good reason for him to post this stuff otherwise. Enjoy the new phone Koush!
[Droid X Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
Lift Off.

Okay, so, We have news that "as a forum" or as invested individuals however you wanna see this, we have sent a DroidX to the Infamous Koush. Whew.. This is really starting to get interesting. Cyanogen picks up and Evo, Now Koush a DroidX, then we have Blue Planet Apps with dTor, now Froyo comes at the end of the month early August for the Incredible... But wait.. theres more.. ;)

Now, the Droid X gets froyo beofre the Incredible. Okay, so the promise that the engineers stated of "trying to have ready for launch" is true then. They have tried really hard you can tell, the update maximized the use out of it very well. Now, with 50% boost from the JIT compiler, oh dear lord, this device is just gone be....

Sorry if the Lincoln makes nothing to do with this, but the song and concept and the way they show the "happenings" is what I wanted to show. :D
[Droid X Android Development] jvward:
Any word on this phone reviving official cyanogen support if the bootloader is unlocked?
[Droid X Android Development] NegativeOne:
You guys are so ready to latch on to any hope. It's touching :P. Donate to me and I will *also* do my best efforts to remedy this awful tragic situation. ;)
[Droid X Android Development] mcsinfl:
I'm a new guy on this forum, but if I could make a recommendation, ChevyNo1...
[Droid X Android Development] ChevyNo1:
Thanks for the support - no doubt in my mind Koush is a very good choice - but I feel I could make a pretty good dent myself ;) I know I show as a noob on this site - but I'm quite active on DroidForums
[Droid X Android Development] cbaty08:
Good luck to any and everyone who tries... when my budget allots I will be sure to donate to whomever.... This phone is BAAAADDDDDDD!!!!!
[Droid X Android Development] bblanski:
The more the merrier
[Droid X Android Development] pokedroid:
Hey all, I don't mean to highjack this thread, but I'm not sure where else to post this and this forum seems to be the one with the most traffic...

I don't own, but DO have access to a licensed cellebrite machine and may be able to get a hold of the .sbf file that the developers need in order to restore a phone if bricked while attempting to gain root access. If there is anyone out there with knowledge, or knows of anyone who can contact me with the steps I need to take to pull it from the machine, I'm more than happy to do it.

Thanks

Pokédroid
[Droid X Android Development] :
You mean from the cellebrite itself? Those machines are just for contact/picture/media transfers from phone to phone, they dont store any kind of firmware. Apologies if I misunderstood you, Is that what you meant?
[Droid X Android Development] FSRBIKER:
Thanks to Birdman we now have root! I changed the donation link above to another Developer ChevyNo1, the more developers that have access to the Droid X the better chances we all have at getting the bootloader cracked.
[Droid X Android Development] FSRBIKER:
Here is a repost of information on ChevyNo1 he posted:

"I've only been programming mobile devices since January - however I am a professional programmer and have been for 20 years now. I currently am a technical lead in the IT division of a Fortune-500 company, I've been there for 14 years now. I have coded for the largest investment bank in Canada - I can program in assembler, 'C', Java, 'C++', 'C#', .NET, Eclipse, etc.

The first 10 years of my career was 100% UNIX - the next 10 was a combination of UNIX, Linux, and Windows technologies. So I'm quite comfortable

For Android, I of course have Simply Stunning 4.5 currently - I also build and compile the kernels as well, so I'm a one-stop shop "
[Droid X Android Development] FSRBIKER:
To the top, remember it only takes skipping today's bagel, Dunkin Donuts coffee, etc to make a donation to a worthy developer....every little bit helps
[Droid X Android Development] corinacakes:
If you bought rom manager...you already donated. I don't understand these threads to buy someone a new phone when the devs themselves all have donate buttons/apps (rom manager). looking at the amount of dl's the premium rom manager has....koush has plenty of money donated to him daily to buy his own X. just sayin...:eek:
[Droid X Android Development] FSRBIKER:
I just don't understand this attitude, does Koush or any developer need to buy a Droid X? Probably not, could they sure just like you and me. What this thread is for is to get the Droid X into as many of the right developers hands to help crack the bootloader lock.

How many hours do you think the developers put in constructing Rom's, themes, etc, do you actually think most of the people donate while using their work? You don't see too many if any developers pleading for money, they mostly do it for the challenge. If you buy RM then you are paying for THAT APP and its continued development, not for other work. If you are so talented develop an app yourself, collect the money and don't support the app because you want to do something else now.

People need to grow up and look at the big picture, this is about getting the Android Community together to do a good thing. Sacrificing a donut or two won't kill any of us, but it can make the Android Community grow stronger. If you don't want to donate, don't...but just remember when you are using the developers work for free they DONATED THEIR TIME to make your Android experience better.
[Droid X Android Development] tguy5150:
It's not that people don't like to donate. What is annoying tho is guys like you panhandling for the dev.....

It's like having a lil *****y dog biting at your heels allday.
[Droid X Android Development] jvward:
Honestly no one says you have to donate, so how is it like a *****y dog?
[Droid X Android Development] FSRBIKER:
First of all idiot DON'T READ THE THREAD, NO ONE IS FORCING YOU.

Lets see one post and you registered today, I bet you are one of the moderators on DroidForums since you remove any links to these developer threads. I received a nice PM today from one of you this morning about promoting donations for developers, don't be jealous that you have no talent and feel like a big man being a moderator. Oh I received an infraction point for this as well, what are we in grade school again.

How am I panhandling? It's called organizing, I am trying to further the Android Development...please list the things you have been doing?? Come on make post number two and state what you have been doing for all of us...were waiting.
[Droid X Android Development] HolyGrail:
I can see where this is going, an its not a place I want to see this thread go. Can we just not respond to the troll and keep this thread on topic?
[Droid X Android Development] LexusBrian400:
I agree. This thread was a great idea and I really think it will help in the long run. Thanks to the OP for "pan handling" lmao...

Dont feed the trolls pleeze.

DONATE!!
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
Hey all, derekm has a great idea that he posted in a different thread. What do you think of this?

"Would it be possible to develop a folding@home type of program (crack_bootloader@home) which could brute force the bootloader encryption? I would GLADLY participate. "
[Droid X Android Development] mrozzeh:
It would take as much energy needed to boil the oceans, to run enough processors to factor the keys involved in this device. No, it's not feasible here.

The skillset required to do something like this is not something you'd find with the normal "dev". Reverse engineering and programming are two entirely different things.
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
So you're saying there's a chance? JK

I wish I was good enough to help!
[Droid X Android Development] Nickdroid86:
I smell a scam
[Droid X Android Development] OneStepAhead:
who we need is geohot working on the droid x. that kid is a genius! first to hack the iphone and first to hack the ps3. why the hell did motorola encrypt the bootloader anyways? i dont see the point, why not let us have our fun? seems like it would only hurt sales (although im sure not by much).
[Droid X Android Development] OneStepAhead:
never know, might get lucky and get it on the first shot! stranger things have happened.
[Droid X Android Development] JrzDroid:
i really wish i knew anything about bootloaders and encryption, I'd love to help crack the X
[Droid X Android Development] mrozzeh:
Geohot's an idiot.

And to answer your question, if Motorola wants to sell devices, they have to listen to the carriers. VZW doesn't like that you can get around their $20 a month hotspot app. And to be perfectly frank, the "market share" of users that root their phones are somewhere in the 3-8% range.
[Droid X Android Development] drewden123:
As other's have stated, I do not believe this is strictly Verizon's doing...this is the same encryption on the Milestone (obviously not a Verizon phone) and I believe the Motorola i1 (not Verizon either, I think). I believe this is mainly Motorola's doing to protect their "intellectual property" (Blur crapware, etc.), and Verizon just happens to benefit from the encryption as well. And why is geohot an idiot? I'm just curious...I don't know the details of all the big-name hackers and I'd like to know who's the best person to work on this and how much (if any) progress they have made.
[Droid X Android Development] mrozzeh:
Without going into a lot of history, there was a lot of drama in the iPhone scene earlier because of him. Basically after working on an unlock method with many people, he was the only person to profit off it. He traded his method in for a $40,000 car and 3 free iphones, and exists solely to make sure his name hits every news outlet there is.

I respect him for his work with the PS3, but lots of people that were around during when the iphone originally launched were left vary jaded by him.
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
I'm with you here. How do we find out the person who is working on this and support him/her/them?
[Droid X Android Development] drewden123:
Well I have an idea who it is that's working on it...just no clue how much progress they've had, other than tweets here and there. I assume it's much of the same crowd as those who got root (birdman, rainabba, b16) all over at AllDroid.org. I know birdman is Steven Bird and he has a website (stevenbird.info) as well. Not to sound like a stalker...I'm just really anxious to crack this baby open, as we all are.
[Droid X Android Development] FSRBIKER:
You should take some Sudafed for the nasal problem. No scam, please do some research before you comment. Ask Koush if he received his DroidX, you can register on Chevy's site www.SSAndroid.com and down the bottom(when you are registered) you can see the running total of donations for a Droid X. I hoped the Android Community could have raised the funds faster(every dollar is much appreciated) as we need more developers to help crack this bootloader, I know the UnRevoked team is interested in helping as well.
[G1 General] Gusjdt:
Is anyone experiencing this issue? You're on the facebook app, you click on notifications and as it loads, 2-3 seconds later it forces you to the previous page. Happens on the Market app when checking "downloads", facebook, gameboid when running any ROM (tried different releases of gameboid, old to newest), google news reader widget, sometimes gmail and it happens always randomly. This never happened to me with CM4 or other Donut roms. Has only happened on CM5.0.8 and sparingly on CM6.

Any ideas? Fix Permissions?
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
I've had this same problem since the day it came out. I have searched and asked all I can. As far as I can tell, there is no fix. Compcache seemed to help a tiny bit and not being on wifi. Other than that, no idea.
[G1 General] Gusjdt:
Does the keyboard quit when you bring it up to type as well? This happens randomly to me and makes sending an sms or searching for something take a good five to ten seconds. Its as if there is something wrong with the back button physically... I'll try compcache and see if it helps
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
Better Keyboard did, stock keyboard never did. Swype would stop in mid slide and start again meaning it only got half the actual word then created a second word.

I've switched to Super E and notice no problems.
[Desire General] ywl12345:
hi i used the Win7 to root. the bootloader version is 0.8 . the early desire was 1.19.

when i pluged the usb into desire it went smoothly. but at the end , the CMD didnt go any more, stucked there. and the device just stood at the greenbar couldnt move on either. i waited for around 30mins, then pulled the usb out. the device came to the RUU mode. and i pulled out the battery to make it restarted. then it works normally but the version of desire now is 1.21. and the ROM is 85MB which is much smaller than the early version.

Now i am confused about the whether that because of my WIN7 made my faliure of rooting. and also i dare not to root the device in XP. cuz some other guy made the device into a 'brick' which he can get in the system any more. neither hboot or bootloader can work.

i hope your guys can understand cuz i am come from China to here for help and my English is bad. thx a lot!

Is there any way to change the color levels of the screen or even planned in upcoming releases? It would be pretty cool for us nova types to be able to "de-purple" our screens to something more accurate; or just have to the ability to change the colors to what we want.

Well, you guys are 2. Buy 3 and you can probably pawn one off on ebay.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mmone3:
I have spoke to globaldirectparts and right now the digitizers ship from china, also seemed very helpfull. But I got one from ebay which is shipping from Cal.

Have to say globaldirectparts have some great prices, but I needed it quicker then china shipping.

Now if i can only find a disassembly video or procedure...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Zombiac:
Well if you find a way to disassemble it and get it back together without cracking

the lcd then please post as this could help everyone here who might need to

replace the digitizer at some point plus it would just be a bonus to see how it's

done.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mmone3:
I replaced the digitizer last night only to find out the new one does not work, so I'm back to the cracked one again.. ;(

GadgetFix is going to send me another one and do have to say they have great customer support!

After successfully rooting my Evo I decided to partition my SD Card, I had a 16gb SDHC class 2 card, after the somewhat successful partition, I now have a 1.98gb SDHC class 2 card :(

I used Acronis to partition the SD card and, for all intents and purposes it seemed to have worked, but then my pc stopped recognising the sd card as did Arconis, when I switched to disk drive on the phone. I took it to work and the work pc did recognize it but Arconis still doesnt. Any one have any ideas how to get my partition back, I have tried several different so called Partition Recovery Software programs, none of them have been able to detect the missing partition.

Can anyone help? Any help is appreciated

And now in recovery I can't fix it because the power button isn't recognized in recovery...

I am new to adb as well but has anyone found info on unf'ing my phone? I have been googling like mad...

Oh, and this all happened because the phone doesn't see my sim card... huzzah for not reading everything before jumping into it...

EDIT:

So to prove I am retarded, to at least get the phone mostly back to working I went to the thread "what firmware for vibrant?" and downloaded the rom that MS_Guru posted, but now I get to the galaxy s logo, then screen goes black and buttons light up... still able to reboot with adb... but bah, this is getting annoying... this is why reading is good...

It's T959UVJE8.. I think it's an old firmware for Vibrant

Sadly that's what I tried when I thought I was getting somewhere but now my screen is blank (but my softkeys light up...)

So I load up odin3, pit is s1_odin_20100513.pit, pda T989UVJE8.tar and it goes through the motions and tells me everything went fine... phone boots up saying samsung vibrant, does the tmobile jingle and little load thing, does the galaxy s load... screen goes blank... if i click volume or power nothing happens, slide my finger over softkeys they light up...

Hey, at least if I return it like this it might be less obvious I was trying to hack it...

i work for tmo and that being said as long as you can at least get the keys to light up just bring it back and say it just rebooted and now its doing this.....

we dont check for rooting and would just exchange.
